Robert Beck, 63, went home to be with his Lord on Tuesday October 13, 2020. Born in LaPorte, IN on November 23, 1956 Robert was son to Ray and Minnie (Madsen) Beck. Graduated from New Prairie High School 1975, and attended Purdue University. On March 11, 1978 he married the love of his life Debbie in New Carlisle, IN. Together they have three wonderful children. Robert served his community as an insurance agent for 25 years, executive director for Youth for Christ for 10 years and a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker for the past 5 years. He faithfully served his Crossroads Evangelical Free Church family as a beloved long-time member, was a member of Kiwanis International, and co-led the creation of the playground at Centennial Park in Plymouth, Indiana. He loved spending time with friends and family, just simply being together, mentoring and caring for people however they needed; cruising on his Goldwing motorcycle with his wife on the back, camping and sight-seeing. His door was always open.

My heart hurts for you. I really don’t like thinking of a world without Bob Beck in it. He impacted so many lives with the message of the Gospel and challenged us to live a life that honored Christ. I am thankful for the legacy he left and for the way he ministered to young people. I am forever grateful for the way he loved Garrison well.
